OIL-BURNING- STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 15, 1919.

Application filed November 10, 1917. Serial No. 201,316.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMMA ALMA SMITH, a citizen of the United States,residing at Standish, in the county of Arenao and State of Michigan,have invented new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burning Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in oil burning stoves, andresides in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts setforth in the following specification and falling within the scope of theappended claim.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a perspective view of an oil burning stove constructed inaccordance with the present invention, and

Fig. 2 is a top plan view, parts being broken away and parts being shownin sec tion.

Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through one of theburners.

While in the accompanying drawing I have illustrated my improved stoveas provided with six burners, three to the front of the stove and threeto the rear thereof, it is to be understood that any number of burnersmay be employed. The burners are indi cated by the characters 2, and areof the usual construction employed. The usual means 7 are employed forregulating the wicks in the burners.

The oil tank is preferably located at one side of the stove and isindicated by the numeral 9. Connected to this-tank are two oil conveyingpipes 10 and 11 respectively, the pipe 10 leading to the rear series ofburners, the pipe 11 being disposed in a line with the outer series ofburners, and the numerals l2 designate the branch pipes connected withthe said pipes 10 and 11 for conveying the oil directly to the wicks inthe burners. Each of the branch pipes is provided with a valve 18, thesame belng preferably provided with an extending stem to which is connected an angular arm 14, and to the said angular arm is secured one endof a rod 15, the opposite end of each of said rods being provided with aheaded knob 16. It will be noted that the heads of the rods 15 arearranged beyond the outer side of the stove.

By this arrangement the oil control of the several burners may beregulated in a convenient manner and without danger of actuating otherthan the desired valve for a particular burner. The wick control rods 7are disposed outward of the headed ends of the rods 16 as clearlyillustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawings and being arranged in pairs, oneabove the other for the respective front and rear burners the wicks ofthe said burners may be accurately adjusted in a manner convenient tothe user of the stove.

The construction is extremely simple, and as any or all of the valvesmay be readily regulated from the front of the stove the wicks in anydesired number of burners may be readily ignited or extinguished. Theregulating means for the wicks, it will be noted, is arranged at thefront of the stove, but at a suitable distance away from the knobs 16for the valve operating rods 15, so that the wicks may be readilyregulated to produce the desired flame.

From the above description, taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawing, the simplicity of the device, as well as the advantages thereofwill, it is thought, be per fectly apparent to those skilled in the artto which such invention appertains without further detailed description.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

An oil burning stove including a plurality of burners arranged inseries, a fuel tank, supply pipes leading therefrom to the front andrear series of burners, a valve for the oil inlet for each of theburners, the stem of each of the valves having an angle arm thereon, arod connected with each of said arms and extending through and beyondthe outer face of the stove and the ends of the said rods being headed,wick controlling means for each of the burners including rods extendingthrough the outer face of the stove and having their ends headed, andthe heads of the last mentioned rods being disposed in parallelism andaway from the heads of the fuel controlling rods.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

EMMA ALMA SMITH.
